We stayed at Rathna Residency, near the US Consulate, Chennai. For a 3-star hotel, it performed quite well, though there are a few areas for improvement.
Food: The food was just okay — acceptable for the category, but not outstanding.
Location: Excellent, especially if you need easy access to the US Consulate.
Room: The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, which was a pleasant surprise for this range.
Bathroom: This is where attention is needed. The bathroom door had lost its polish, giving a slightly worn-out look. The toilet help-o-jet was too harsh and uncomfortable.
Overall, I’d say it’s a solid 3-star property that overperforms for its range. With a bit more attention to bathroom upkeep, it could easily feel closer to a 4-star experience.
